Using a combination of classroom interactive lectures and weekly field based labs, the physical, on the ground, aspects of

AESP (IEP) 251 Integrated Environmental Planning Applications II is the final course in the three course Integrated Environmental Planning Applications continuum. It focuses on the development of professional planning skills and the practical application of the technical skills and scientific knowledge developed in other IEP courses. The majority of each student’s grade is determined by their

AESP (IEP) 254 Hydrology I. This course is an introductory study of water in our environment including its properties, the natural processes which affect it, and practical experience in the collection and analyses of field and laboratory data using standard techniques and equipment.

AESP (IEP) 255 Hydrology II is a continuation of Hydrology I, in which students collect, record and analyze hydrological data for streams, drainage basins, lakes and reservoirs, groundwater and meteorology. Hydrology II is a more in-depth study of the effects of water on our environment, and how we can understand and mitigate our impacts and support natural hydrologic cycles. Practical examples

AESP (IEP) 260 Systems Ecology is an introduction to the science of ecology, building on concepts and information introduced in ENVR 160, 161 and other first year ENVR courses. Emphasis is placed on the basics of ecology, and will focus on the structure and function of various communities including alpine, subalpine, wetland, and riparian ecosystems. The labs will explore various methods of

AESP (IEP) 263 Water Pollution Chemistry. This course continues the study of environmental chemistry with an emphasis on water quality, water and wastewater treatment. This course reinforces laboratory safety and lab skills acquired in year one. The course explores properties of water and introduces the use of colorimetry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Labs cover a benthic

AESP (IEP) 266 Applied Microbiology is an introductory applied microbiology course. This course covers basic microbiological theory and an introduction to applied microbiological skills including safe work practices; aseptic technique; preparation of media; isolation and growth of pure cultures; Gram staining; tissue culture; microbial enumeration using pour and spread plates, membrane filtration

AESP (IEP) 270 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the capability to effectively create, edit, display, manage and analyze spatial data; data that is georeferenced to the earth. This course introduces the fundamental concepts and applications of GIS with a specific focus on environmental planning subjects. Emphasis is placed on developing hands-on expertise with world leading commercial

AESP (IEP) 271 GIS Applications II provides an opportunity for AESP (IEP) 2nd year students to undertake a GIS project of their choice. Students apply the GIS skills acquired in previous Selkirk GIS courses (ENVR 158 and AESP (IEP) 270) to a real-world project. A range of GIS methods and data sources will be used, depending on student project selection, but all will include as deliverables a

AESP (IEP) 276 Ecological Restoration and Remediation will cover applied ecological restoration and remediation techniques common in the environmental planning and management fields. Restoration project planning and implementation will follow techniques developed by the International Society for Ecological Restoration (SER). Topics covered will include restoration research, project scoping and

AESP (IEP) 277 Environmental Planning Field Applications involves the development of a planning project in a local regional district. Learners will be involved in scoping of the environmental planning issues, stakeholder consultation, and design of critical planning elements. This is an intensive 35-hour course offered in a one-week time block in the spring semester.

AESP (IEP) 280 Environmental Chemistry is an introductory environmental chemistry course covering chemical theory, calculations, measurements, and laboratory skills. Laboratory exercises address basic skills including laboratory safety, quantitative measurement, and use of common laboratory apparatus. Laboratory exercises are derived from standard methods for the examination of water and

AESP (IEP) 281 Water and Air Pollution Chemistry examines the applied chemistry of water and air pollution.
